Description
The U.S. Job Loser Not on Layoff is released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and measures the number of individuals who have lost their jobs, do not expect to be recalled to their previous positions, and are actively seeking new employment during the reporting period.
Changes in the number of individuals not on temporary layoff can reflect structural shifts in the labor market and broader economic trends. An increase in this figure typically indicates rising pressure in the labor market, with unemployed individuals facing greater challenges in finding new job opportunities. Conversely, a decrease may suggest improvements in the labor market and a recovery in economic activity.
This data is released monthly, reflecting changes in the number of permanently unemployed individuals in the United States during the previous month.
